Life Partners Ratings & Reviews
Autostraddle
Brittani Nichols
The film is funny, sweet, and enjoyable with a straight forward plot which makes it a perfect hook-up film because no matter when you come back to it, you'll know what's going on.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Lefkowitz's tender, sharply observed script gets fleshed out by a handful of genuinely engaging performances.
Popoptiq
Frank Ochieng
Life Partners exudes with twisty complications that are both enlightening and gently heartbreaking. Messner and Jacobs are fabulously endearing as the joined-by-the-hip besties coping with love and life lessons while dealing with the high expectations.
Cinemacy
Morgan Rojas
It may not be boundary pushing, or revelatory cinema, but Life Partners is easy digestible, inoffensive and just a charming film. The performances are good, the script is solid, and the message is true: best friends are forever.
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
The focus is ultimately on Sasha and Paige's friendship, and how Paige's successes cause Sasha to reflect on her own failures, though being queer is not among them; it's just who she is.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Kathy Fennessy
Despite a few moments of sitcom silliness, [Leighton] Meester and [Gillian] Jacobs bring that struggle to relatable life.
The Film Stage
John Fink
While it's not the most perceptive film exploring the diversity of the lesbian experience, Life Partners has several insightful comic moments that ring true.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
With such generic characters and scenarios, it feels like a sitcom pilot, where lessons are learned and, at the end of the day, everyone winds up right back where they started.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Why does it feel nearly revelatory to see a film that treats female friendship with respect?
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The two stars display a winning chemistry in this amusingly observant study of female friendship.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
Meester and Jacobs have an easy, authentic chemistry, but there isn't enough structure or storytelling thrust to sustain interest in the plot: Triumphs, calamities and reunions keep happening, but none contains real dramatic heft.
L.A. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Fogel refuses to pander by pretending that the girls can fix everything with a hug. Sacrifices must be made.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
The charming story about millennial confusion is deftly written by Susanna Fogel (who also directs) and Joni Lefkowitz, and the dialog actually sounds like the way a pair of smart and funny twentysomethings might really talk.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
Most of the time, the banter doesn't sound like banter; the movie shares Sasha and Paige's unforced shorthand.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Fogel's focus is female friendship, and the challenges presented by growing older and pairing up. It all makes for a rocky road, regardless of the romantic rival's gender.
TheWrap
Inkoo Kang
"A waxen falseness suffuses the stilted, stubbornly generic picture. Like the fast-food mozzarella sticks one of the characters devours in moments of existential woe, it feels like a calculated imitation rather than the real thing."
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
Fogel and Lefkowitz go for a loose, funny vibe that allows them freedom to serve a range of different characters and subplots, but the center of their movie doesn't hold.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
A well-scripted, intriguingly-acted effort to mine the theme of prolonged adolescent best-buddyism through two women.
Film School Rejects
Kate Erbland
Life Partners travels some very familiar ground, but the strength of its writing, the honesty of its plot, and the charm of its leading ladies means that it's a real cut above the rest of its genre brethren.
Slant Magazine
Abhimanyu Das
These characters, all of whom feel fleshed out and thoroughly lived-in, constitute the foundation of a story that unfolds organically, blessedly free of the twee self-regard common to films about millennials in flux.
